	Scots For Independence: Andrew de Moray
		Aberdeen fell to the rebels, the Scots were in complete control of the north east, and all the direct result of Andrew de Moray's brave actions.
		However, the arrogance of the corpulent churchman Cressingham overruled the cautious deliberations of Warrene, and the cavalry crossed the bridge to be slaughtered at the hands of the highly motivated Scots.
		Another of young Andrew's uncles served the rebellion admirably in the person of David de Moravia, who, as a member of the "church militant" rose quickly from a parson of Bothwell in 1296 to Bishop of Moray in 1299.

		Young people have to be educated to enable them to make decisions that are right for them, this means making advice free, confidential and readily available to all on the issues that concern them.
		The Young Scots for Independence believe that educational and health authorities have to radically rethink their strategies for dealing with these issues, to ensure that the decisions Scotland’s youngsters make do not have a negative impact on the rest of their lives.
		Young people are treated as an after thought by our government, because many young people believe our current electoral system is discredited, they do not choose to participate in the usual ways such as voting in elections or joining political parties.

	Swans Commentary: Why Scotland Needs A Referendum On Independence, by Joe Middleton - joemid03
		Uniting the entire independence movement behind our campaign, something which we hope will be obvious on 30th September when we organise our first march for independence through the centre of Edinburgh and ending outside our temporary parliament.
		The Federation of Student Nationalists and Young Scots for Independence have agreed to contact their text referendum supporters list in support of the march.

	Why does Scotland want independence?
		Most countries around the world are independent and most of them prefer it that way.
		The arguments offered against independence are all based on the assumption that the Scots, uniquely among the peoples of the world, are incapable of making their country better.
		We have made such an impression on so many cultures in so many countries that it is outrageous that so many Scots are still not educated in their own cultural history, and that would change dramatically for the better with independence.

		Edward's reply was predictable; he sent a large army north, defeated Bruce at the battle of Methven, executed many of his supporters and forced the Scottish king to become a hunted outlaw.

		However, the main aim of Scottish Independence is the ultimate purpose of both the SNP and the FSN, and many members are active within the SNP as well as the FSN.
		In an independent Scotland, Scottish resources would be developed and used for Scotland, rather than Britain as a whole.

	Called King of Scots
		One of the first things the Bruce did after Bannockburn was to allow any Scottish knight or baron who had served under Edward II or his father into his peace and restore their properties in Scotland.
		This was seen as very agreeable to the Scots, and on March 17, 1328, King Robert and emissaries from England settled on a final and lasting treaty in Edinburgh.
		And, lest it be forgotten, because of the importance Bruce placed on independence, Scotland remains, to this very day, the only nation in the United Kingdom not to have been taken in force by the English.
